Displaying Upvotes and Downvotes Separately
Is there a setting that will allow me to view upvotes and downvotes as separate numbers rather than one combined score? This is the one setting in Jerboa that I can't seem to find in Sync. Jerboa:

This missing feature is absolutely crucial for transparency.
Big tech industries are hiding downvotes, which obfuscates the true value of shared content in the eyes of the users. I was excited to see Lemmy natively going against this trend, and saddened to see that it's not featured in sync (yet?).
Sync for reddit had a % value that mentioned the ratio of Upvotes to downvotes and that also served a similar purpose.
From an user experience point of view showing downvotes separately can result in more negative votes but the feature is useful for transparency nonetheless.
That bandwagon can go both ways, would be nice to have some sort of data showing consumer behaviour in this regard. Pretty sure youtube knows a lot about it
Kbin user trying out Sync. This app feels great so far, but this is one feature I'd love to see added.
Oh, so it really works with Kbin, I am glad for Kbin users!
Sorry for the confusion, no. I have an account on Lemmy.world too, which is what I'm using on Sync
Oh ok, I though you had one, as I have heard Sync dev he'd support Kbin when the API was available... well, it is just a matter of time then.
Great to hear, I didn't catch that. Thanks!
It bothers me that almost no apps support this.
Sync dev is extremely reasonable. I've been a user for the past ten years. Ask and ye shall receive.
Voyager supports it
That's good. Jerboa does too.
Would definitely like to see this as an option.
Yep. This needs to be a feature asap
Yeah I would like this too.
Please. It makes me want to go back to the other app I was using
